[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP who asked about 9 yo’s and my kid loves to swim. She would happily do it every day. It doesn’t feel like a grind to her - she loves it. I’m more wondering if it raises the concerns about overuse of the muscles at 9. She also dances so gets some other exercise. But 9 yo is also the point at which dance is asking for 3 days a week too and we can’t make that kind of commitment to both. [/quote] My swimmer did 3x a week at 9. They are now 13, completely committed to the sport and (knock on wood) have never been injured. Whenever she has wanted a day off, we let her take a day off. Listen to your kid is the best advice anyone can give you, if she starts resisting going to practice or complaining about shoulder pain that’s when you know she is doing too much.[/quote]
